Want to actual make money doing what you love? Have you invested thousands of dollars worth of gear and education to not have your phone ring off the hook? It's not a technique or camera price tag problem, it might be a marketing strategy problem. You try to post on groups, but hundreds of other photographers gobble up your leads before you can even try.
10 years ago, I was sitting in a basement apartment with my newborn daughter- I had just quit my job as a teacher and I was alone and isolated. I was broken from a miscarriage and not knowing what to do with my life. So I decided to teach my self a skill and a trade. I bought my first camera from amazon for $400 and equipped with a few YouTube tutorials- I started my business.
I had no idea what I was doing- and I failed A LOT. But I learn tricks of marketing and branding during my journey. After thousands of hours shooting, learning, shooting and learning... we were able to wins several local awards and be published in over 65+ blogs and magazines. Now we train, coach and mentor photographers all over the area- creating a custom-built home photo studio property with interactive sets and outdoor scenes to host workshops at reduced costs.
I journaled all along the way in the 10 years of business. I journaled the best solutions for basic website tricks (and I don't know code!), the best places to make passive income streams (all while creating content on my 4 year old phone) and how I was able to raise three kids and homeschool in the process.
These journals, experiences and tips are all here in this e-book- to share with regular everyday creatives that need REAL LIFE guidance and direction to grow their business with love, heart and hustle!
